The
activity which was initiated by Dr. Aniruddha D. Joshi (Sadguru Bapu),
in the year 1999, has gradually gained momentum and spread all over
Maharashtra. During the year 2016
a total of 106 camps were successfully conducted all over Maharashtra,
in which a total of 11,316 units of blood were collected. The magnitude
of the activity can be gauged from these sustained efforts throughout
the year.

Iodine
131, a radioactive isotope mostly associated with nuclear fission has
been detected in air sampling results of some of the official monitoring
organizations in Europe, pointing towards a possible nuclear incident
in the polar regions of Arctic.

The
radioactive particles were first detected in January in Svanhovd,
Norway near the Russian border. Similar detection has also been
confirmed in Spain. Air sample detection indicated a very-low
concentration of isotope, which has been confirmed to have no health
risk to people and environment.
